What one is Original Story of "From Up on Poppy Hill"?	The Original Story cartoon of "Cocrico slope" was serialized to the issue by the monthly girl comic 'The inside stopped' (Kodansha) in August of the same year at the January 1980 issue. Chizuru Takahashi takes charge of drawing and Tetsuro Sayama is taking charge of Original Story. As for the book comics, two all volumes were put on the market in 1980, and the pocket edition version was put on the market from Kadokawa Shoten by this company in the renewal version and 2011 in 2010.
What meaning is "Cocrico"?	"Cocrico" means "Hinageshi" in French. It is written, "Chicken mustard" in the Chinese character, and is applied the Chinese character "Hinahinaawa" to French "Cocrico". It might be called by another, "Gbigensou (field poppy)" and "Sharapope". The flower is made to bloom in plant length 50cm-1m in a papaveraceous annual plant of a European origin in around May. The number of plants that make an orange flower bloom from the space etc. of asphalt at the early spring has increased, and this is a companion of Hinageshi "Nagamihinageshi".
What kind of person is it though the Original Story person was in cartoon version "From Up on Poppy Hill"?	The man named Tetsuro Sayama is taking charge of Original Story though the author of "From Up on Poppy Hill" serialized to 'The inside stop' is a woman named Chizuru Takahashi. It is felt that it seems may be paid attention a little more, and it reels and is and there is not so much information. It is extent to be able to confirm the confession article by the issue slightly for four days a small interview article on 'Romance album' and August, 2011 of 'Bunshun Weekly'. Tetsuro's Sayama the 1948th grader is rare according to the article on 'Bunshun Weekly'. A career different as it serves as the writer, the editor, and the editor in chief of the publisher after it leaves Tokyo Metropolitan University before graduation, and by the side and porno novels that handle Original Story of the cartoon are written, too is traced. I hear becoming afterwards the haiku poet and those who research poetry, and the duties of the priest of a buddhist temple in Tokyo and Negishi's west attention temples at present. It is a typical baby boom generation as for the 1948th rare grader, and it is all joint struggle generation. It seems that it is not without relation to an active campus activism at that time though the reason to have dropped out of college is not made Han.
What difference do you exist between the Original Story cartoon and the movie?	As for the difference between the Original Story cartoon and the movie version, the following points are chiefly enumerated. ¥The setting in about 1980 becomes Yokohama of 1963 years. ¥Komatsuzaki's family name changes into Matsuzaki. ¥Father changes into the death of the accident and missing it in Korean War by Sawacaminari. ¥Mother's name is changed from Nigee to Yoshiko. The occupation changes from the cameraman into the teacher of the university. It has been changed by Yoshiko as it was Nigee in an initial image board on the way. It seems that it was changed to supplement the setting that it kept studying because there was the husband's good understanding when adopting a profession. ¥The uniform changes from the blazer into the sailor blouse. It seems to have changed though it was drawn by the blazer appearance in a first image board because it had repeatedly proposed, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki be "It was ..good the sailor blouse..". (romance album and Director interview) ¥Quartier Latin doesn't exist in the Original Story cartoon. ¥The uniform abolition movement becomes the continuing movement of Quartier Latin. "The educational institution struggle can be made for a moment as an old story now merge in nostalgia (From the memo for the project)" seems to obsolete and to pass really and for a fresh uniform abolition movement not to have been taken up at all that making into a film materialized though is. ¥Mr. Hokuto becomes a woman from the man. It seems that the comparison between "Boarding house of Kokuriko = feminine environment" and "Quartier Latin = man's brothel" was changed to case though Mr. Hokuto was a man in the Original Story cartoon. Moreover, Umi doesn't have this setting of course at first in the movie version in Hokuto though was Hiraomo.
What difference do you exist between scenario and the movie?	As for the difference between scenario and the movie, the following points are chiefly enumerated. ¥The sinking scene of opening LST moves to the scene when it sees the Tokumaru chairman in the latter half. When Goro MiyazakiDirector began to draw the picture continuity first, it seems will redraw it at the beginning according to the scenario because the picture continuity has darkened heavily though there was a sinking scene. (romance album and Director interview) ¥The scene where the clock of Quartier Latin is reconciled is added. ¥The scene that Umi confesses to Shun moves before it hears it after the truth is heard from mother. ¥It ends by the scene that returns from the last scene that waves by two people on the tugboat to boarding house of Kokuriko Umi and raises the flag again.

Why does Umi keep raising an ensign every morning?	It means that Umi hangs every morning "Pray for the safety of Umi" by "U" and "W" of the international flag. Umi put out the flag near the window according to the explanation of 'Visual guide' every day because it had been said by father, "It was not lost and father came back if he raised an ensign" when father of Umi was still alive. It seems that the custom continues after father dies, and it is continuing now. It describes of no belief of father again ..the death.., and it dies by Sawacaminari in Korean War, and Umi seems also to accept the reality father in the movie Umi the accident ten years ago and life and death uncertain in the Original Story cartoon, and father. It is likely to hang in feelings to think of father.
As for Shun Kazama, has it been understood that do the fly of Umi Matsuzaki of the flag every morning why?	Here is not understood well at the mere sight of this volume. The reason for the appearance of Umi Matsuzaki is that it is not sure to see it even if the tugboat that Shun Kazama takes from the place where do the fly of the aspect of Umi Matsuzaki (Mel) ,that is, the flag is seen not to be seen from the aspect of Shun Kazama. It knew beforehand by another some methods, and, perhaps, the girl seems to have known it was Mel Shun Kazama because it was being written, "You ..the girl.. give the flag. why" in the poetry that had been published in 'Weekly Quartier Latin' however. For instance, it is likely to be able to know though there is nothing why it knew except guessing as long as the setting of the unknown doesn't come out by the following methods. (1) The fly of Mel of the flag every morning was known as such in the school, and had the chance that Shun Kazama also knows it. (2) Shun Kazama went to boarding house of Kokuriko to return in the school because it understood the flag was .... place (boarding house of Kokuriko) from the tugboat. Then, because the evening had come, the appearance of Mel that took down a flag was witnessed. (3) There was business where it went near boarding house of Kokuriko than before, and when the boarding house of Kokuriko front was happened to pass, the appearance of Mel that took down a flag by chance was witnessed.
Clothes was purposely changed to plain clothes when Umi that prepared supper like the uniform appearance noticed though was pork and went for beginning purchase and it went. Though it is thought that you should go for beginning purchase because of hurry like the uniform appearance.	Umi that came to a little delay noticed fleshless because the cooking apron was worn from the uniform and it prepared supper. Taking off only the cooking apron certainly because of the translation it that goes to buy to the shopping street under the slope panicking while preparing the table and going out like the uniform seem to be more natural. However, the uniform was "One worn when going to school", and clothes that had to be change of clothes at that time in 1963 at the time of the setting of the movie it when coming home. In addition, it was not clothes that had to like until the age (The uniform abolition movement was exactly drawn in the Original Story cartoon) it where the voice of having to assume that it was the one to deprive of freedom uniform = clothes, and to abolish the uniform came out in no small way, too, and time without the necessities and to put on at that time. Going out should think being nature by changing clothes to plain clothes if going out again (Even if you hurry up) because it came .... once. Actually, it made it endure and changed clothes to plain clothes when it went to school, and the school ended, went out to have a good time, and was not unusual in ..plain clothes.. bag beforehand. the high school student of will being to play after school It is after the 1990 year that moved at the Heisei era at the Showa era to change from "Symbol of uniform = managed instruction" into "Uniform = high school student generation's privilege". The uniform thought to have to be abolished became clothes that students wanted to put on willingly voluntarily some day. The high school student since the Heisei era became natural, put on a uniform purposely even on holiday, and came to go out into the town the play after school like the uniform appearance. It seems to infest even "High school student" that doesn't take off a uniform even if graduating. It can be said that the age changed greatly.
When power was reversed though it said like "It was not good to round down the minority opinion" when small number of Quartier Latin continuing sects were power, the minority (Ta sect) had been treated like not existing. Is the round-down of the minority opinion good?	Even if it might be natural, and emphasizes becoming of the continuing sect many, it is not mysterious to write the article from the standpoint of the continuing sect because 'Weekly Quartier Latin' was originally writing the article from the standpoint of the continuing agreement. It is not necessarily the contradicted one to declare standing in a certain standpoint, and to write the article in accordance with the standpoint though it is important to esteem the minority opinion. However, because Shun Kazama asserts, "It doesn't have the qualification that talks about democracy to small number of you who doesn't try to hear person's opinion" in all knowledge round-table discussion, following made the balance and wax around here is a desirous point. It was settled in shape that both the continuing sect and the Ta sect with which old Quartier Latin built a new clubhouse in the different location after it had continued since it directly petitioned the chief director were able to consent. 'Weekly Quartier Latin' is to be succeeded by the generation below and to continue. It is the one that it wants you for the editorial policy to which the minority opinion is esteemed as Shun Kazama declared to be carried out.
Only Umi Matsuzaki had submitted notification of absence to the school though Shun Kazama and Umi Matsuzaki went to the chief director to negotiate direct with the student council president escaping in the school. What meaning does this have?	The reason was the one The student council president and Shun Kazama were the translations because of (from which without permission was absent)"Came directly because it did not understand whether ..Apo.. to meet very much" to the direct appeal to Chairman Tokumaru without taking even the reservation ..them when going.. though it was a thronged translation. The notice of nonattendance that this was true, and Umi had submitted was dangerous for their plans. It is because ..being sure to take some measures... contact the chief director from the principal if the student's having faced the chief director comes in the place at the school in which it knows and make it not meet students However, there are no signs that the principal contacted the chief director. The school might not have understood three people including Umi to have gone to the chief director to meet. A true reason (To go to petition the chief director directly) from which it was absent might not have been being written in the notice of nonattendance that Umi had given. What meaning is given to giving the notice of nonattendance that doesn't write a true reason for absence?„Ÿ„Ÿ¡"The stripe ..Umi Umi.. was passed" is thought as one view. There might have been consciousness that it was not a too democratic procedure to go to petition the chief director directly jumping over the principal was to have expected chief director's supralegal exertion of authority (Overturn the principal's decision) by it. The stripe might have been made an expert so even a little by stepping on the procedure of submitting and the absence report. I think that it can think like that.
Is this the souvenir though mother of Umi has bought Beef Jerky for an American souvenir?	We image, and the history of so-called Beef Jerky is not too old though the dry meat as the preservation food had been made in all parts of the world since old times. It is being meant to have spread even by the United States in the home after the 1960's since the Vietnam war. Moreover, because it is assumed that Beef Jerky was developed in Japan about 1970, Beef Jerky doesn't have the difference in there was even no seen what to say nothing of having eaten Mr. avenue and Riku up to now extremely unusually in Japan at that time in 1963. It tucks up and I think that it was a very unusual souvenir to say nothing of in such a meaning. Actually, the souvenir outside Umi of the age of the Showa era was standard liquors or Beef Jerky. Bringing the meat product outside Umi in cannot bring the one there is very severe for a long time quarantine, and without the certificate of inspection for the souvenir and personal consumption in to Japan. The import of the meat product from the United States was prohibited after 2003 when BSE (mad cow disease) became a problem, and U.S.-made Beef Jerky was not able to be imported. It continues as of 2011.

Is there a town that became the stage of "From Up on Poppy Hill"?

As for movie "From Up on Poppy Hill", Yokohama in 1963 is set as a stage. The Pacific War ends, 18 years pass, and it hits in the previous year when Tokyo Olympics makes it hold. It is assumed that this age setting is a conception of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki. (From the Yomiuri Shimbun article on January 1, 2011. )

Will boarding house of Kokuriko be a setting that has built whereabouts?

As for the place with boarding house of Kokuriko, "Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Literature" in Minatono-mieru-oka Park in the Yokohama city district surrounding is imaged. The circumference of "boarding house of Kokuriko sees scenery on the outside when Mr. Hayao Miyazaki visits by the lecture in 2008 and is assumed to be a desire, such feeling a", and a decision to the model of the stage. (From the feature article the 33rd 2011 boy magazine year. )

The skirt length of the uniform of Umi is long and uncouth. Did it manage a little more not to become it?

Design of craft seal
The skirt length of Umi is a feelings rather short.

Height with a long knee the under was a main current in old times though short height on the knee had increased to the skirt length of the uniform only now. As a situation at that time, it is long height and there is no problem because the setting of the movie is 1963 at all. Only it might be lost of the reality, come to the surface since the age, and be seen if it makes it to the height of the rather short as today.

However, judging from eyes that have been got used to seeing, long height at the Showa era might be likely ..living.. .... to be seen short height at the Heisei era a certain field. Actually, the designed one is adopted for the height of the feelings rather short as for the sailor blouse drawn in goods (craft seal) though the truth is uncertain whether judged it is not lovely (Do not sell as goods) in too long height.

By the way, the 1980 year was an age when especially long height had become popular. Because students had competed for the length of height by saying reaching the ankle, clothes inspection by the school was checked by "Whether a skirt that was longer than school regulations is swept or not?". It was after the 1990's that this flow changed, and schoolgirl's height shortened quickly. It has come to be checked oppositely by "Is not the short skirt swept from school regulations?" in clothes inspection.

A regional difference and the difference of the school are said as of 2011 that the length that shortens too much that becomes long in some reactionary, and is extended to Hizatake is increasing, too though are. It is likely to be going to return to long height slowly in the future because it is said that the fashion will be repeated by a long span.

Does Umi stop hanging some time though it raises an ensign thinking of father every morning?

The scene to which do the fly of Umi of the UW flag "Pray for the safety of Umi" has gone out many times in the play. The grandmother and the flower of Umi see it in a painful desire though it thinks of father who doesn't exist in coming back of Umi in the custom from in the childhood already.
The grandmother says, "It is a sleep getting if coming to end even if a wonderful person can do, and you do not raise an ensign though is good". It is thought that the role need not be finished, and the flag hang any longer when Umi and Shun become mutual infatuations if it thinks this to be an advance hint in the story.

However, Umi will raise an ensign as usual next morning when two people became mutual infatuations, and, then, ending in the movie. Moreover, this scene is a last scene that glitters in the morning sun like showing the change in feelings of Umi while using the composition that purposely adds the one in scenario without, and resembles the scene that raises an ensign by opening. It seems to change as hanging in appreciation for having hung from this flow out father up to now thinking having made it come across Shun.

I hear that the last scene hung thinking of father still because man cannot change easily ..so.. according to Goro MiyazakiDirector however (From the romance album and the Keiko Niwa interview). It will not be stopped the fly of the flag at least in the future though the change might take place in the shade of meaning that raises an ensign.

Will Shun and Umi marry in the future?

I think that whether two people can marry is a slight point because it becomes an elder half brother younger sister on the register even if there is actually no connection of blood. Of course, the problem in the register can be sure to solve, and not a translation without choices of running, falling, and doing fact either. Two people are the points as it is from the flow of the story from which it wants you to be connected.

However, after it finishes high school, there is a descent "Can it still be thought of travel you-?" in lyrics of "With love .Umi" that exists in "Collection of poems from the From Up on Poppy Hill", and Shun wakes up the image to go out of Yokohama and to go on to the far-flung place. By chance, nobody finishes high school then in parting far, and there is not a possibility of becoming estranged as it is either.

Seeing might be also happy to make the imagination come round variously though it doesn't know how the future of two people becomes it.
